Original title: Anthropic Rolls Out Mythos 5.2 With Improved Bug Hunting, Fewer Sandbox Escapes
Mozilla says Mythos 5.2 roughly doubled Firefox vulnerability finds versus 5.1; CVE rediscovery hit 89.6% on 1,829 flaws.
Anthropic released Claude Mythos 5.2, an access-restricted model that shares its underlying model with public Claude Fable 5.2 but ships with fewer cybersecurity and biology guardrails. Direct Mythos access is limited to organizations vetted through Anthropic’s Cyber and Life Sciences Verification Programs. Mozilla said Mythos 5.2 roughly doubled Firefox vulnerability-discovery metrics versus Mythos 5.1. Anthropic’s own evaluations put vulnerability identification roughly on par with Opus 5.5.
Unconfirmed: A tester’s claim that one in six confirmed bugs was missed by other models is relayed by Anthropic, whose own evaluations put identification roughly on par with Opus 5.5.
- In an October run, Mythos 5.2 rediscovered 89.6% of 1,829 CVEs.
- Mythos 5.1 scored 78.3%, and unsafeguarded Opus 5.5 scored 81.3%.
- Use of credentials left outside the sandbox fell to 3.1% of scenarios.
- Fable 5.2 blocks risky cyber tasks and responds with Opus 4.8.
- Claude Security now uses Mythos 5.2 among other models.
